thanks. that will give me until end of June - works well - i can get two bites at the apple - Q1 quarter end and Q2 quarter end, hopefully something good will work out among these two windows of opportunity
Here is my question. If you think low 500s is too much for a 50k bmw. What do you think the price point should be 450? 400?
If so where does a 22k hyundai elantra fall? 100?
Yeah, the willingness for dealers to offer mega-deals is very dependent on the circumstance. While there can be deals due to “despair” most deals won’t fall under that category. I think buyers chasing deals because the seller is desperate will usually be disappointed. Which then becomes anger toward the system… because they failed at finding a deal hah.
The whole notion of these easy to use brokers is somewhat new (like past decade). IIRC, there weren’t many brokers offering services back in the 2000’s to 2010’s. This site didn’t even exist in like 2013. The only brokers I remember prior to this were some folks dumping volume units through fleet channels (like real fleet, not Amex TrueCar or Sam’s Club). I also remember having a broker involved to offload a few hundred Chrysler Crossfires that were stuck in a port in Maryland. But the notion of some IAC listing a bargain BMW for someone to just walk off the street and pluck away is like unheard of. You all lucky SOB’s in Texas man… for reals.
Anyway, the only dispair I recall was picking dumpy units during the last financial crisis when dealerships were literally shutting down and nobody would take on their floorplan since there was you know… a financial crisis.

A post was split to a new topic: Deal Check- 2024 BMW IX
I think we’d just about do the same deal on an order as we would on a stock unit at this time.
We rarely have cars just sit these days unless they’re poorly configured and this typically only happens on cars that people traditionally order bespoke.

Let me ask this question - what do you hope to gain here?
I haven’t seen one consistently, I’ve heard of blowouts at 9-10% but the other people understand is just because one dealer did it one time on a particular car, doesn’t mean everyone will, and doesn’t even mean that dealer will do it again on another one.
Technically yes last month but it’s really hard to do, If you have a 85k MSRP with 8% off that brokers were offering and $3k in BMWFS incentives you can get around 11/12%. It might be a color combination only a colorblind person would love but hey, use the discount to get a wrap right?

Just trying to understand how people think.
If a sign and drive lease for a 50k 3 series is EXPECTED to be in the 4s
what is the expectation for a 30k accord or a 20k elantra
I’d have to be paid to drive those.

Not everyone has RR money bud. Your entitlement is showing.
low cost leases were a staple of working class households for the better part of a decade. 200-300 payments for reliable/safe/economical transportation.

It was a joke in response to your facetious question. Pull the plug out of your ass.

To me the lease was always two fold. Never own an expensive to maintain import and the tax write off. I would probably just buy a low end import as they are cheap to own and hold their value pretty well. I’m sure there are plenty of examples here that show to the contrary. With that said l, I would not buy any EV right now.
Either you want to drive a high-end luxury vehicle or you don’t. Low end imports are basic transportation to get a person from point A to point B. There are some nice near-luxury imports that work almost as well as the high end imports.
and yet the Supra is scarce as can be with dealers stating they dont have allocation in the next batch
I have not seen any Supras (built by Magna Steyr in Austria) or GR86s (built by Subaru in Japan) on the lots. Those may still be in short supply, since they are not assembled by Toyota. The Toyota/Lexus lots near me are full with hundreds of the more common vehicles such as RAV4s, Camrys, RX and NX. It was not too long ago that there were maybe a dozen or so new cars in stock at some large dealers I visited.
